Engineering Career and Job Hunting Advice for February 3, 2016

This batch of career advice articles is a mix of actions both employees and employers can take to facilitate finding a new job, improving the environment of the current job, and how retain good employees. There are no articles here on how to dump poor performers; maybe I'll look for some of those types next time. Almost without exception, employers that contact me to post engineer, engineering sales, management, and technician job openings remark on how difficult it is to find qualified employees. Good hunting.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
